Melons! I guess you are getting enough rain there.
Have thought a conibear would be about the only option if they won't go in a trap. And I *think* they are instakill(?) which is OK by me. I don't much like having to shoot them, usually multiple times, with the pellet gun. The FIRST one I did in was a 1 shot. Rear end hiked up, then still. Every one since then has been at least 3 and of course it takes a bit of time to break the barrel and put in the next pellet so the critter is suffering some. Not sure where one gets a conibear on the sly, sure won't be ordering online.
I could get one in the little barn, conveniently on the sly no less. The lower part of the barn is in bad shape, no one goes in there and the chickens can't get in either. No way to get a trap in the wood pile by the big barn since I have no idea exactly where the hole is and it is likely under a lot of big timbers anyway.
Not true @Latestarter. I want them gone but have no desire for them to suffer. After all they are just dumb creatures doing what they were designed to do. They happen to be doing it in the wrong place and it isn't like you can fence them out.

Way to go Bay! Those melons are doing great! They like sandy "drier" soil anyway.

Bruce said he planted watermelons and got nowhere. I tossed watermelon rinds over the fence last fall to the pigs and got quite a nic3 little patch of at least two different kinds. Maybe 3, I think there was a yellow meat type in the mix.
Next batch of pigs, you need to throw them some cantaloupe and honeydew

I think she should throw some money over the fence, maybe they will plant money trees!

We bought melons at the local fruit stand, I don't know what they were.

@Baymule wow on those watermelons! Maybe Bruce could use some of those melons to trap his woodchuck friends!
